This I think is a very very good point.

Last time I looked at this I concluded that mouse settings belong per mouse.
I in fact do (just to ruin your example) have per session mouse settings. Since
my Palmax is either being used remotely (3 button scroll mouse) or locally
(touch screen) it seems very reasonable.

I'm quite happy for GNOME_WORLD to remain an addon patch until gconf allows
me to cleanly manage per session and per display configuration as I want it
to work.
